No More Sliding Dentures
Suffering from tooth loss can have a major impact on not only your oral health but also your physiological health too. Missing teeth can reduce your self-confidence and happiness, making it difficult to complete your day-to-day tasks. At Park Place Dental Centre, our Brampton team wants our patients to feel confident in their smiles.
Fortunately, we have the solution for patients who want to smile without hesitation in the Toronto area. Unlike traditional dentures that slip and slide around your mouth, we offer a more stable, comfortable solution for tooth loss — overdentures.
What Are Overdentures?
An overdenture is a removable denture that’s secured to your jaw using dental implants. Overdentures don’t require any messy adhesives, so your dentures will stay in place while you eat and speak. They also blend beautifully with your natural smile.
Benefits of Overdentures
An overdentures have become the preferred tooth replacement solution for patients who are missing multiple teeth. This restoration offers a wide range of benefits when compared to other tooth replacement options, including:
- No messy adhesives
- Comfortable and customizable fit
- Removable for easy cleaning
- More long-lasting and cost-effective
- Allows you to eat your favorite foods
- Speak with confidence
- Don’t shift around in your mouth
Using Dental Implants to Place Your Dentures
At Park Place Centre, we always put your comfort and convenience first. We want to ensure you know exactly what will happen throughout your appointment so that you feel confident in your dental treatment.
- During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and Dr. Svoboda will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to ensure we can move forward with your treatment. If your oral condition isn’t at its best, Dr. Svoboda will recommend a supplemental procedure before starting the dental implant procedure.
- At your second appointment, we’ll place your dental implants. After the appointment, you’ll need to wait a few months for your implants to integrate with your jawbone before coming back to our office. During this healing period, we’ll also provide you with a temporary natural-looking restoration so that your smile looks complete.
- At your final appointment, we’ll secure your permanent dentures to your dental implants, thus completing the procedure. You’ll be able to leave our office with a brand new smile. That way, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do overdentures last?
Can I sleep with my overdenture in?
How do I care for my overdentures?
Can my dental insurance cover overdentures?
How long do overdentures last?
Due to having to snap your overdenture in and out of place, it’s common to need a replacement of the prosthesis. Over time, your overdenture can experience diminished snap retention and perceived looseness. Typically, we recommend replacing the device once every 12 to 18 months.
Can I sleep with my overdenture in?
Yes, you can sleep while your overdenture is in your mouth. Since the device rests on your implants and not your gums, it’s perfectly fine to sleep with them. However, remember to be diligent about cleaning them to ensure you maintain good oral health and keep your prosthetic in great condition.
How do I care for my overdentures?
It’s important to follow a good oral hygiene routine in order to maintain the health of your smile. This is to avoid getting cavities and prevent gum disease from developing. The good thing is overdentures are removable, so you’ll be able to clean them just like you would with traditional dentures. You should also clean around your implant attachments.
Other than that, you’ll be coming to our Brampton office biannually for professional checkups and cleanings. This is so our dental team can ensure there are no underlying issues with your mouth or overdenture.
Can my dental insurance cover overdentures?
Most insurance companies cover a portion of the cost of overdentures. We recommend speaking to your provider to learn more about your coverage plan. If the coverage isn’t enough, we also offer flexible financing options so that you don’t delay your treatment any longer.
